I believe I am among the many posts I have read that fear they may have a roo in the hen house.
I'm aware these inquiries usually ends up in a confirmed roo but I am still holding out hope because the signs are not very prominent...?

I bought two Silver Laced Wyandottes a month ago. They were a month old.
Now at two months, one (my fave) "Pepper" has a slightly larger wattle than the other. Their bodies are the same size and shape though.
It seems when someone suspects a roo it tends to be the case, however when I looked at pics of someone else's 3 month old Wyandotte roo, it had a full blown wattle and comb. I know they grow fast, but I would think it would be more obvious by now if it were to look like that in 2-3 weeks. Thoughts?? Please?

"Pepper" is the one I'm concerned about and I included a picture of the my other pullet "Rosemary" for comparison. Their wattle looks larger from certain angles in the pictures than in person so I took several angles.

At 2 months I think you have 2 pullets. Are the legs of one especially thicker than the other?

I sure hope you are right! I had to run outside to check their legs and if they are slightly thicker, its not really obvious. I did notice a slight difference in their tails while I was out there- Pepper's tail slightly slopes up and Rosemary's tail slightly slopes down. Is that telling at this age?

For those on the edge of your seats, rest assured that Miss Pepper is in fact a girl- she was the first to mature and the first to lay in fact! She gives us a beautiful speckled brown egg every day
Here she is in action and all grown up. Thanks again for the reassurance everyone! She's changed so much from her pictures above- aww!
